Story
Willow is about almost 1.5 years old, she can be feisty while other days shes pretty chill. She let's my kids carry her, but would prefer if they didn't and shes weary to new people sometimes. She was a kitten when we got her so my other cat didn't have any issues with her and her being a kitten she didn't have an issue with my older cat, but I'm unsure initially how she'd act now being older with another cat but i think she'd accept it. She likes to play with your feet and toys and lay at the bottom of your bed or snuggled up with other cats she gets to know.

Story
Pepper is estimated to be about 7 months old, she was found outside with her late sibling. She has an occasional cough and is FELV+. She is very playful, purrs loud and loves meowing for attention. She melts in your lap and likes being held.I'm looking for someone who is able to keep her inside, keep her claws intact, and afford necessary and possible emergency vet visits. She needs space to run around and play, and high cat trees and other climbable areas are good. Since she is FeLV+, she can only be housed alone or with other + cats.I can provide any extra wet and dry food I may have.

Story
Hi, I’m Dahlia! 🌸 My journey didn’t start out easy. I was found all alone without a mama to care for me. When I first joined the APL family, I was malnourished, dehydrated, and in need of fluids and a special diet to help me gain weight and get the nutrition my little body desperately needed. Thanks to lots of love and care, I’ve grown into a happy, healthy kitten who’s ready to find my forever family! If you’re looking for an adorable kitten who’s equal parts cuddly, curious, and playful, I think we should meet! One of my favorite places to be is perched right on your shoulder. Yep, I’m the kind of girl who likes to be part of whatever you’re doing! When I’m not giving shoulder snuggles, you’ll probably find me rubbing against your legs, curled up in your lap, or watching the world go by from a sunny window. I absolutely love to play! Whether it’s chasing toys, enjoying a tasty treat, or wrestling with my kitty friends, I’m always ready for some fun. And when playtime is over? I’m more than happy to curl up with my feline pals for a cozy nap. I’m a social butterfly and love meeting new people. If you stop by, there’s a good chance I’ll be the first one to come say hello and ask for pets. I get along wonderfully with other cats, dogs of all sizes, and kids, so I’d fit into just about any loving home. While I’d be happy soaking up all of your love, I’d also really appreciate having another kind, playful kitty friend to romp around with and snuggle up beside when the day is done. Having a feline buddy would make my heart so happy! I don’t have any special needs anymore—just a family who will appreciate all the purrs, cuddles, shoulder rides, and love I have to give. I’ve overcome a tough start in life, and now I’m ready for my happiest chapter yet. Could that chapter be with you? 💗 Dahlia is microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines and will be adopted with a spay agreement (because she’s still an itty bitty thing). Applications to adopt Dahlia can be submitted within her bio, here: https://www.aplanimalrescue.org/cats

Story
Minnie (Mini) was the smallest of her litter. We took in her stray mom right before Christmas in 2022 and couldn't put her back outside because we found out she (Minnie's mom) was pregnant. Minnie loves a bunch of toys, especially yarn and laser pointers. Our foreign exchange student loved holding Minnie on her back, like a baby. We have personal/human health issues and cannot keep the remaining 2 cats.
